When I bring up the word ''Anime'' Peeps look at me like i'm 12 or something cuz they think its Childish/Weird here in The Netherlands. I just don't get why they have an opinion like that, Anime is awesomely nice What bout you guys? Where do you live and do people accept Anime in your country?

I live in the US and DBZ,Naruto,Bleach etc started on regular TV. We have Funimation on Demand and even Anime Network now and then on cable.Cartoon network has the Sat late night anime on.So I think its more accepted here.Ypu look at the Marvel or DC comics movies and how huge they are even though they are not anime.So I think anime is known here more and not just a fad.

I love anime, and in high school I worked out everyday and was on the football team so nobody ever gave me shit for watching anime, playing video games, etc. In fact I got a lot of my friends into anime. I guess I never really saw how anyone could think anime is childish because in my country the first time I began watching anime was on [Adult Swim] and Toonami with shows like Big O, IGPX, Dragon Ball Z, Samurai Jack, .hack// they weren't exactly childish.

Anime is accepted at where I live as long as you don't like a annoying weeaboo/Japanophile and say phrases like "OMG NIPPON is so sugoi because of ANIMUU and sushi!" and/or shoving moeblob materials down their throats then I might see why some people will say "Anime sucks" to you.

I live in Australia. Anime here is pretty scarce. You really have to go out of your way to buy actual blurays and DVD's. And no, through all my years of school I never met anyone who was into it. (Although, there was that one little asshole who watched Naruto and thought all other anime was crap in comparison.)

Even watching anime here is dangerous; too many giant bloody spiders. I'll be half-way through an episode and BAM, a Huntsman the size of my hand is enjoying the show right next to me...ugh.
